According to many authorities the impact of humanity on the earth
is already overshooting the earth's capacity to supply humanity's
needs. This is an unsustainable position. This book does not focus
on the problem but on the solution, by showing what it is like to
live within a fair earth share ecological footprint. The authors
describe numerical methods used to calculate this, concentrating on
low or no cost behaviour change, rather than on potentially
expensive technological innovation. They show what people need to
do now in regions where their current lifestyle means they are
living beyond their ecological means, such as in Europe, North
America and Australasia. The calculations focus on outcomes rather
than on detailed discussion of the methods used. The main objective
is to show that living with a reduced ecological footprint is both
possible and not so very different from the way most people
currently live in the west. The book clearly demonstrates that
change in behaviour now will avoid some very challenging problems
in the future. The emphasis is on workable, practical and
sustainable solutions based on quantified research, rather than on
generalities about overall problems facing humanity.
